sures at cloud service providers that match, or exceed, those typically available at many organizations. “If you look at how a lot of work gets done today, if you really take a comprehensive look at what data is shared
externally, in a lot of cases data gets shared via e-mail or other means, which is not necessarily secure,” noted Autodesk’s Martin. “Being able to provide a common point on the cloud that has physical security in the datacenter—and segregation of multi-tenants within the datacenter, plus layers of software security, as well as logging of who accesses that data, and from where, etc.—in some ways makes the cloud better. “It’s hard to keep control of information once it leaves the four walls of your company,” he added of many typical on-premises scenarios. “By contrast, having something in the cloud, there are multiple physical and software layers of secu- rity applied to that, and you can also audit who is accessing what and when.”
A hybrid-type solution with some data stored on-premises behind firewalls may be the way some companies deal with the issue. “What we see is everyone wants cloud capability, yet the
security aspect in the enterprise world hasn’t yet completely been overcome, especially in aerospace/ defense,” says Patrick Michel, vice president, Dassault Systèmes (Velizy- Villacoublay, France). “There’s a lot of talk, there’s less action, I’d say. People essentially consider whether to have private clouds. “We can put a customer on the cloud. I even tested it myself,” he said. “The technology works on the product to store my data and do everything that you can on a centralized server, where you don’t even know where the server is. It’s just that the market’s evolving gradually on that topic and you’ll prob- ably see it on the smaller customers first. It’s a bit like banking was 10 years ago, where people hesitated, now no- body thinks about it.”
Linking the Shop Floor Digital manufacturing technologies
that provide users with seamless links to the shop floor are making headway, with recent iterations of such tools from PLM systems developer Dassault Systèmes and its digital manufacturing
